Today is Camp Prodigy's second book-birthday! Time's sure been flying, and in a year, it'll be three and my next graphic novel will be mere months away from its release date! As usual, thanks to everyone who's been interested in my work, and happy pride month! Here are some throwbacks from previous Junes.

Early Reader Batcat by Meggie Ramm First in a full-color graphic novel series for emerging readers about accepting yourself and others from up-and-coming author-illustrator Meggie Ramm, creator of the comic strip The Littlest Dungeon Guard and cohost of the Pop! Whiz! Bang! comics podcast. Batcat loves being all alone in their home on Spooky Island. Up in their tree house, they pass the time…

Perfect for fans of Victoria Jamieson and Raina Telgemeier, this heartwarming middle grade graphic novel follows two nonbinary kids who navigate anxiety and identity while having fun and forming friendships at their summer orchestra camp.

After attending an incredible concert, Tate Seong is inspired to become a professional violist. There’s just one problem: they’re the worst musician at their school.

Tate doesn’t even have enough confidence to assert themself with their friends or come out as nonbinary to their family, let alone attempt a solo anytime soon. Things start to look up when Tate attends a summer orchestra camp—Camp Prodigy—and runs into Eli, the remarkable violist who inspired Tate to play in the first place.

Some fun news! I have an author event on 5/30, yes, but I've also now got one on 5/29! It'll be a double whammy!

Stop by Protagonist Books & Coffee at 5:30 that Friday for a discussion and book signing. Hope to see you there!

I'm excited to say that in 75 days, I'll be returning to Charlotte BookPalooza! I'll bring along Camp Prodigy, naturally, plus some recent comic anthologies I've been a part of. Tickets are being sold this year, and you can nab them via the link below (kids get in free!).

Lastly, I don't have facebook myself, but for those who do, check out the event page!

In a little over a week, I'll be back at one of Books on the House's festivals! The last one, in Charlotte, was super fun, and the upcoming one, in Mooresville, is looking to be just as great!

Visit Lake Norman BookPalooza on April 25 from 11-4pm for food trucks, book merch vendors, read-alongs, and of course, the chance to buy books from authors like me! (Plus, you could win one of their many raffles!)
